The Keokuk Fair.

The people of Keokuk resolved
to have an annual exhibition and
fair, and will on.the 9th, 10th 11th,
18th of August next hold their
first on their new grounds.
They have bought 65 acres,
fenced it, put in water, built roads,
sheds, stables, pens, ETC., also a
grand stand, and a half mile track
60 and 70 feet wide, built on the
most approved plans and pro-
nounced the best in the west.
Access will be had by rail from
the city as well as by private con-
veyance.
This the first year the exhibits
will be limited to live stock only.
The afternoon of each day will be
given to the speed ring. The
purses are liberal and an attrac-
tive lot of good horses will be on
hand each day. Miss Nellie Burke
with her chariot races and her
Roman standing races, her stud OF
IA fine stations and horses, and
her pack of greyhounds, will be in
the ring. A large exhibit of fine
horses and cattle are to be on the

A singular and distressing acci-
dent happened to Henry Saling's
youngest child on Tuesday of last
week. Some one gave the little
girl a small tin whistle shaped
like fattened sphere and about
an inch in diameter. In attempt
ing to blow it the child swallowed
it and it lodged in the aesophogus
or gullet just above the cardiac
orifice or opening into the stomach
1T remained there until Saturday
evening despite the best surgical
aid, the little one eating nothing
in the meantime, And drinking
water with difficulty. Accompan.
led by DR.. Stone Mr.. Sailing took
the child to Keokuk Saturday
evening an secured the assistance
of DIR. Hughes, who made an ex.
animation but did nothing to re-
move the toy, but sometime
Saturday evening the whistle
passed the orifice and is now in
the stomach The child has eaten
nothing since the accident but it is
believed she will be all right wher
her throat gets well. 1t was mos
distressing to the parents anG
kept them filled with anxiety

Gone Where the Woodbine Boometh.
Atchison Globe.

Where are now the little boom
lets, which were blooming weeks
ago? When the spring was young
and scarcely, risen from the win
ter's snow; where, 0 whittier have
you wandered, boomlets once so
young and fair! Fhey have left
this vale of sorrow, they have
climbed the golden stair. Where
are now the frenzled boomers, who
were painting every town, where
are they who in the spring time
galloped up and galloped down?
They have gore to join the film
fam, where it scars about the
moon; they are where the gentle
whing-whang, sings at eve a
maudlin tune. Once these BOOM
lets were so handsome, once these
boomlets were so strong! Once
they gladdened all the bosoms,
of wide and surging throng;
and the throng took up the spirit,
sure they could not be bereft,
then the boomlets quickly vanish
ed, and the throng was rather left.
Once 1 saw a booming boomlet,
and it held village down; trte 1t
wasn't in proportion--it was big
ger than the town, for a week OF
two it lasted then it glided I'D the
fume, and the town looked, oh,
SO lonesome, it was bigger than
the boom. Where at eve the pale
whang doodle, mourneth in 6
solemn tone, slumber on, o weary
boomers, in your grave beneath
the stone; where the deadly flip
flop wanders, breathing forth its
songs of hate; take your rest, c
broken boomlets, till you reach
the golden gate.

The Ear as Criterion of Character.

The ear affords better criterion
in estimating human character
than any of the features. An ear
without we'll defined elevation and
depressions indicates selfsness
and want of delicacy of perception;
the possessor of thick, we'll
shaped, highly tinted ear, set well
forward, is usually ungrateful,
grasping, and liking In depth of
feeling; a thin ear indicates keen
suceptibilities; protecting ear,
alertness; broad ear is more
coarsely practical. The perfect
ear lies close to the head, is grace
fully rounded with pretty curves
and strong lines.

How The Icclander Got Left.


A dispatch from Londen states
that Iceland claims that she has
got the documents to prove that a
favorite son of hers, named Leif
Erikson, discovered this country
in 9S5. This information is i'm
portant if true, but it is doubtful
if our people will stand up and
sing, "Eriksonville's the gem of
the ocean" or "Hail, Eriksonvinia,
happy land" Not for the present.
The year 9S5 was quite a spell back
an Left ought to have filed his claim
sooner if he was anxious not to
have it outlawed. 1t is too much
to ask of a high-spirited continent
like ours that it shall wait from
9S5 until June, 1887, for name,
merely to accommodate a procrasti-
mating Icelandic gentleman.

that the Board of Regents took no

the facts or Intentionally sup
pressed them.
